Dude we have shockingly similar overarching stories but my HR manager firing was for costing the company I work for 10s of thousands of dollars for not having the right visa to work in china and getting stuck in south korea for weeks due to the easter holiday making it so they forgot where they left me until I got ahold of someone again.
My retirement plan is skydiving.
as long as I
Oof, and everyone else too it seems.
That’s fair, me too.
I think they would certainly try if they could pay for the exclusivity.
Just got to bring back Tithes.
Ah right, sorry for the mixup then
Not exactly cheapest but I have been an absolute fan of Gallium charging bricks. They can do much higher wattage in a smaller size and with a long USB C cable and 4 ports actually replaces a laptop charger, phone charger, and more.
And specifically Anker makes a 65w charger that also doubles as a battery bank for about $80 that means I can charge everything from just that one and then take it with me and use it as a battery and plug I to the wall to recharge itself and my devices again.
You can also just use a cocktail shaker or a jar with a lid and shake them. Peels come off so easily and you just mostly sift through them to get the cloves.
ok no.
When the last braincells manage to fire before fizzling back into the night
+1 to bread maker!
$25 from marketplace and now in 3 hours I can always have fresh baked bread, throw in some rosemary and garlic and scallion in an olive oil loaf and you have a nice dish to bring to a dinner.
Use the dough setting and now I have easy bagels and pretzels. Or even challah bread.
I even got a 50lb bag of flour for $14 so each loaf of bread costs about 40¢ in ingredients.
Yeah I will say I once got a temp ban comment removal from a community cause I said “I wish I had the type of OCD that made someone put extra small details on their dwarf cosplay” it was marked as an ableist slur.
Yup trapped in VR except its using peoples real bodies instead of character models with their real world fitness (at first, coma people ain’t doing all that) and die in game die for real.
So like as close to a full isekai but reversible if they beat the game (100 level MMO), which the protagonist doesnt want to do but everyone else does because he is so edgy until he finds love and can have it in the “real world”
But its like 10,000 people get isekaid mentally at the same time. Second season is about going back in to get someone that didnt manage to come back the first time either.
There is a really really fantastic abridged series on YouTube by Something Witty Entertainment if you like crass but wholesome humor. Fixed a lot of the character flaws and terrible writing.
Jesus that first ending of fullmetal alchemist where someone thought they weren’t being obvious enough with the fascist metaphor…
I guess its not a good escape fantasy if you are reminded of the place you are trying to escape from all the time.
But I have 2 more off the top of my head and you won’t like either.
Sword Art Online
Digimon Adventures
Technically both about children trying to get home after disaster. It seems to be the only group that tries to go home.
Eh, she has to get the gem pieces to stop the destruction of the past so she can stay home and often struggles to return to the present and stay there for any amount of time.
She even at the end stays in the past, missing it as her found home.
Its very isekai adjacent.
And yet most of the comments in here are talking about doctors appointments and going out for dinner. I am confusing it but it seems I’m not alone in that.
We are not in the right crowd to organize a strike, which would be better with actual business owners involved, but I understand we should get what we can.
Why is it so bad to take an honest look at what we are trying to accomplish and our methodology? I thought Lemmy liked science and actual data. I’m peer reviewing this so we can adjust the methodology and try to focus better.
I want to succeed I am just not gonna pretend we get there without effort.
Top 10% of people own 90% of stocks 85% of all businesses, and half the real estate.
Yeah, it just became another form of currency to them to make number go up attached to their soul of course.
That is like the exact opposite of the thought you want to have in the shower.
Perfect.
Don’t fake it. Be honest.
I dunno, that has been what I have been doing and nothing kills the light in their eyes like honesty.
lOl. The worth of my assets and all my accounts is about $13,000 and that includes my 401k and I have been working for more than a decade and rent.
I’m a weirdo but also I know that I’m also completely average for level of fucked.
